    <p><tt>This&nbsp;module&nbsp;provides&nbsp;various&nbsp;functions&nbsp;to&nbsp;manipulate&nbsp;time&nbsp;values.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
There&nbsp;are&nbsp;two&nbsp;standard&nbsp;representations&nbsp;of&nbsp;time.&nbsp;&nbsp;One&nbsp;is&nbsp;the&nbsp;number<br>
of&nbsp;seconds&nbsp;since&nbsp;the&nbsp;Epoch,&nbsp;in&nbsp;UTC&nbsp;(a.k.a.&nbsp;GMT).&nbsp;&nbsp;It&nbsp;may&nbsp;be&nbsp;an&nbsp;integer<br>
or&nbsp;a&nbsp;floating&nbsp;point&nbsp;number&nbsp;(to&nbsp;represent&nbsp;fractions&nbsp;of&nbsp;seconds).<br>
The&nbsp;Epoch&nbsp;is&nbsp;system-defined;&nbsp;on&nbsp;Unix,&nbsp;it&nbsp;is&nbsp;generally&nbsp;January&nbsp;1st,&nbsp;1970.<br>
The&nbsp;actual&nbsp;value&nbsp;can&nbsp;be&nbsp;retrieved&nbsp;by&nbsp;calling&nbsp;<a href="#-gmtime">gmtime</a>(0).<br>
&nbsp;<br>
The&nbsp;other&nbsp;representation&nbsp;is&nbsp;a&nbsp;tuple&nbsp;of&nbsp;9&nbsp;integers&nbsp;giving&nbsp;local&nbsp;time.<br>
The&nbsp;tuple&nbsp;items&nbsp;are:<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;year&nbsp;(four&nbsp;digits,&nbsp;e.g.&nbsp;1998)<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;month&nbsp;(1-12)<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;day&nbsp;(1-31)<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;hours&nbsp;(0-23)<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;minutes&nbsp;(0-59)<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;seconds&nbsp;(0-59)<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;weekday&nbsp;(0-6,&nbsp;Monday&nbsp;is&nbsp;0)<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Julian&nbsp;day&nbsp;(day&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;year,&nbsp;1-366)<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;DST&nbsp;(Daylight&nbsp;Savings&nbsp;Time)&nbsp;flag&nbsp;(-1,&nbsp;0&nbsp;or&nbsp;1)<br>
If&nbsp;the&nbsp;DST&nbsp;flag&nbsp;is&nbsp;0,&nbsp;the&nbsp;time&nbsp;is&nbsp;given&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;regular&nbsp;time&nbsp;zone;<br>
if&nbsp;it&nbsp;is&nbsp;1,&nbsp;the&nbsp;time&nbsp;is&nbsp;given&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;DST&nbsp;time&nbsp;zone;<br>
